This ubeer cool shirts have been designed by Kentaro“ANI” Fujimoto (Nendo Graphixxx). Now I just wait that SEGA will team up with Cospa and release a 3D (not digital) version!

Beside Games is an "invite only" community with a lot of famous people from TV, Music, Design and Underground worlds and I just found out that our friend idol and "otaku Photographer" Julie got a blog on it.

As always Julie is posting really cool staff from her trips in the otaku underground (like the Vocaloid 2 Miku doujin DS game I posted last year). Beside the super cute Julie, there are also other friends on this community like Japanese super star designers like Ani "Nendo" Fujimoto and Tei from FuriFuri. If you can read some Japanese I think Beside Games will be a regular read during 2008!

7.1.2008 Update: Today Julie is number 3 beside a member of the legendary Japanese group Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

Quentaro "Ani" Fujimoto (from legendary Japanese design collective Nendo Graphix) just sent us the link to this super cool watch from Uniqlo.

RaidGig (the tokyo  shop for fashion conscious gamers since 2001) is now taking pre-orders for the 2007 version of the T-shirt that 12 years ago started the craze for Famicom/ 8bit design (it was s a best seller in shops like kichijoji's "Shop 33", Shibuyas's "Tribute" and Mandary in Nakano). The design has been made by the legendary Quentaro "Ani" Fujimoto member of "Nendo Graphic Squad" since 1993, Graphic designer, 8bit Nintendo Collector and Buddhist (italian readers will read more about him in a the coming issue of GAMERS magazine). Ani is famous for his Famicom Tibetan style tshirts and since than worked on many projects related to videogames and otaku culture. It's courious that the man that created the very first site dedicated to Akiba called www.re-tokyo.com (produced by Fujitsu) in the mid-nineties got a super low profile online right now... but maybe this is part of his legend!
